Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
17 Control of unreasonable exemptions in ... standard form contracts.
(1) Any term of a contract which is ... a standard form contract shall have no effect for the purpose of enabling a party to the contract— (a) who is in breach of a contractual obligation, to exclude or restrict any liability of his to the ... customer in respect of the breach; (b) in respect of a contractual obligation, to render no performance, or to render a performance substantially different from that which the ... customer reasonably expected from the contract; if it was not fair and reasonable to incorporate the term in the contract. (2) In this section “customer” means a party to a standard form contract who deals on the basis of written standard terms of business of the other party to the contract who himself deals in the course of a business. (3) This section does not apply to a term in a consumer contract (but see the provision made about such contracts in section 62 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
